I recently said that I will reblog anything Thomas-related, and so, in case you weren’t aware these actually exist, I’m going to be riffing a video where he joins magical ponies on an adventure through the result of YouTubers liking just about anything. And I’m not talking just about Pooh’s Adventures, I’m talking about a webseries that has the same plot line in every episode. Fillies and gentlecolts, Thomas and Twilight Sparkle’s Adventures of Annoying Orange - Captain Blood Orange.
Overall: 6/5
-0.2/10. Once again, we get a video where any explanation of logic is absent, grammar is bad, crossovers are ridiculous, jokes are ruined and the target show is absolutely terrible. Not even the inclusion of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man or Godzilla need this much explanation. 76859Thomas, if you’re reading this, ask me. How did a bunch of talking trains manage to fit inside a supermarket when they’re dozens of times larger than the characters they’re helping? Why do you think rainbow ponies are a good set of characters to pair with them? How did even the ponies manage to fit inside a tiny ship on a shopping cart? Are they toys, too? Did Twilight manage to shrink the entire gang? And why the hell do you find this show funny? Next time you do make a video with Thomas the Tank Engine and Twilight Sparkle, please. Give reason.

Now, a while after I made my Thomas rant, I have confronted myself with this question: “Do I have a lack of imagination?” The source of the lack can be seen when I look at the trains and said to myself: “No. They’ll rust. It will never work.” A few days later, the Heck No Pooh’s Adventures tumblr posted a poster where Thomas and the Ponies flew, and I said to them that I could believe it, linking to a video where a train goes off a ramp with super thrusters, flies for a while, then the five carts combine into a giant robot.
I began to confront myself with the above question ever since I said I believed trains could fly. I can believe a train can fly, yet I can’t believe it can exist underwater. I’m going to over-analyze my own thought process to figure out if I have some sort of imagination problem and that Pooh’s Adventures and other Adventures as a whole are good if some imagination is pulled off.
I seem to complain a lot that trains have restrictive movement. Now, I have seen a few shows where trains can go pretty much anywhere, though there is usually a reason why. For example, the rails could be forming right under their wheels and thus the train can move freely, or the rails go up into a ramp and you can apply super thrusters to fly off the rail. Usually there is some reason why the trains can move.
So I decided to do an experiment. I would imagine Thomas to move around freely, with the rails forming as he moves, and it seems to work just fine. He can go anywhere and even get off Sodor since, again, the rails can form where he moves. So Thomas can work, right? Wrong. I still have to get over his size troubles.
So I imagine the above, but now Thomas can go into a shop… And now I just imagined a bull in a china shop. Anytime I think of Thomas in a crammed space, I always revert to that simile. So it seems I have limited imagination. Then I realize: I’m applying real world physics to fan fiction. If not that, then I’m applying what is established in Thomas’ own universe, especially with what I seen in the Blue Mountain movie.
It makes sense to me now. It’s not that I have a limited imagination. It’s that I have too much imagination. I, based off what I have seen, imagine Thomas being applied to an Adventure, with what is considered acceptable in both universes, Thomas’ universe and the world that it’s being crossovered into. I’m not poking at petty plot holes. I’m pointing out why they won’t work given the rules established in both canons. In order to enjoy most of the Pooh’s Adventures, I usually must purge those rules and must believe in anything, even if it doesn’t seem logically correct.
In short: Pooh’s Adventures is the crossover equivalent to 2 + 2 = 5.

So, I expressed an interest in Pooh’s Adventures Fanfiction on the Heck No Pooh’s Adventures tumblr, and someone by the name of atalonbyanyothername sent me a link to one of the fanfics. And so, I decided to read.
IT’S READIN’ TIME!
So we have this giant ass cast list full of people. I doubt that this is allowed on Fanfiction.net, but it seems it’s there, clear as crystal. SKIP.
And… Oh my… He actually wrote in a Pooh’s Adventures intro. You know, something like this? SKIP.
We actually start off with Pooh, to my surprise, not setting up a play or in the desert. So already, this author got a point for effort. The only difference is that it starts out with a very similar plot to that one Pooh story where he gets stuck in Rabbit’s hole. That was actually my favorite Pooh story.
Anyways, Christopher Robin pops by, and the narration explains to us that Christopher Robin is a badass who fights Heartless and that a long [BLANK] ago, he… pretty much stole Peter Pan’s story by severing Fat Cat’s hand and feeding it to… A T-REX? Okay, that’s pretty crazy awesome. If only we had seen it. Meh, I’m pretty sure this guy wrote the story and that I just need to be linked to it. Oh, and Jane Darling is his boyfriend.
And so they have dinner with Dora the Explorer, her pet monkey Boots, a few OCs, Pierre, who can change from a 12-year old boy to a 14-year old girl… Wait, that last bit was an error? Uh… Okay then.
Oh, and Japanese Puss in Boots. Wonder if he serves pizza as a samurai…
I can clearly tell if they are running or dancing!
Benny, Leo and Johnny’s Adventures on the Titanic, part 5. Benny laments about his stupidity.
Overall: 6.8/5
-0.36/10. This is the worst Fantasy Films Adventure yet. It’s offensive, boring, idiotic and, looking at the ratings, highly overrated. And what’s more, the death of 1500 people is followed by The Little Mermaid. This is just as bad as the animated Titanic movies from Italy, and you can’t help but get horrifying flashbacks to In Search of the Titanic. Plus, why do people get fooled that easily in the videos by disguises, even when they’re worn by lions? This is especially insulting as it treats the Titanic crew like they’re stupid. It’s not educational, it’s fap worthy (Here’s looking at you, Kane Taker). And it’s trying to be serious, which provides no answer to the question, “Who is it aimed at?” Well, it’s not for children, but it surely ain’t for people with heart either. What a way to celebrate a centennial, eh?
Featured comment: “Wow! All the people who are involved in all 5 parts of the Titantic special are really amazing. Great voice acting, great effects and great music. I am a real life friend of KaneFan701 and I will rate Benny, Leo and Johnny’s Adventures on the Titantic…5 Mickey Mouse icons out of 5.”

Benny, Leo and Johnny’s Adventures on the Titanic, part 4. Boy, I’m telling you, it’s a good thing this is only 49 minutes.
Benny, Leo and Johnny’s Adventures on the Titanic, part 3. It seems that this wasn’t the documentary I expected after all. Even so it’s better made, though more insulting, than the Amazing Animals adventures.

Benny, Leo and Johnny’s Adventures on the Titanic, part 2. 20 likes? Nothing else? Fixable. *dislikes it*

Now, I will admit that when you read Benny’s channel description, he seems like a decent guy. He says he has a “big sense of humor” and a “big sense of generosity”. He also wrote a children’s book exclusively for Amazon.com and looks to find experience in becoming a professional animator. He also has a good taste in music, as he may not like country, but does enjoy classical.
That is, until you watch his videos. Because now, at the request of a single follower, I’m going to be riffing Benny, Leo and Johnny’s Adventures on the Titanic.

I can pull off a bad Rafiki impersonation too, but at least with more charisma than whoever Benny hired.
